Westfield quarterback Kreigan Bridges (7) is brought down by tough Klein Oak defense in the second half of District 13-5A battle Friday night October 14, 2011 at Leonard George Stadium in Spring, TX. Klein Oak,

After blocking an extra point to upset then state-ranked Lufkin in the first round of the playoffs, Westfield (9-3) had an even more impressive trick up its sleeve Saturday that lifted the Mustangs to a 13-7 victory over Leander and a spot against Garland Rowlett at 2 p.m. Saturday in Georgetown in the Class 5A Division II Region II semifinals.

The game-winning play came with no time on the clock. Westfield had the ball at the Leander 47-yard line. The game was tied at 7, and overtime appeared seemed inevitable. Then quarterback Kreigan Bridges threw for the end zone, and Dexter Garrett caught the ball in a crowd.

“I saw him catch that then the official signal the touchdown,” Westfield coach Corby Meekins said. “We were all saying ‘did he catch that?’ It was really neat to be a part of.”

Meekins said in his 22 years of coaching that he never had seen a successful Hail Mary completion.

“We felt like Kreigan had the arm to get it there and we wanted to give ourselves a chance,” Meekins said. “It was a really special thing to be a part of — especially on our side of it.”

The two playoff victories have Westfield brimming with confidence heading into Saturday’s game.

“We have had two good days of practice this week,” Meekins said. “It is really special to be playing this time of the year. We are really excited to be here and we haven’t stopped trying to get better.”

GAMES TO WATCH

Dayton (9-3) vs. Manvel (12-0)

7 p.m. today, Deer Park

Radio: 89.7 FM

Dayton at a glance: This wasn't the three-loss Broncos' best season, but here they are again, deep in the playoffs. They've been to at least the third round five straight years – longer than Manvel has been playing varsity.

Manvel at a glance: The 12-0 Mavericks outlasted Port Neches-Groves in a 56-46 shootout in their first trip to the third round last season. With Brenham's surprise exit last week, they're the top 4A team left standing from the Houston area.

Cy-Fair at a glance: The 12-0 Bobcats are in the third round for the first time in four years. They went 1-2 in three consecutive trips to the regional semis from 2005 to 2007, beating Hightower 49-7 in 2006.

Hightower at a glance: The Canes haven't won in the third round since their state finals run in 2008. They avenged last year's playoff loss. Now they can settle with another foe that ousted them in their last meeting.

Lamar at a glance: The Redskins showed their will to win last week, rallying to shock Cypress Falls for their first trip to the regional semifinals since 2003. They fell to North Shore in their last appearance.

Pearland at a glance: The Oilers outscored their first two playoff foes 88-7. They've been great on defense, especially in the secondary. Those back-to-back losses in the regular season are a distant memory.

The Woodlands at a glance: The Highlanders are in the third round for the first time since 2003, despite going 10-0 in the regular season the past two years. They lost 25-14 to Mesquite in the third round in 2001.

Mesquite at a glance: The 7-5 Skeeters won the 5A Division I state crown the last time they beat The Woodlands. They were picked last in 11-5A but squeaked into the playoffs. They upset Garland in OT last week.

Katy at a glance: The 12-0 Tigers were tested last week. Next up is La Porte, which they ousted in 2008 (42-0) and 2009 (37-3). They're arguably a better offensive team, and balanced.

La Porte at a glance: The Bulldogs are a better, more physical defensive group than in their previous meetings with Katy. They outscored their first two playoff opponents 77-13, whipping Bush 42-6 last week.
